# Update workspace preferences

> Updates workspace preferences, specifically the `sync_paths_rules` array that controls which paths are synchronized.

**Validation:**
New rules are validated to ensure no unselected paths contain uncommitted changes.

**Requirements:**
Requires WRITE access to the repository.

**Returns:**
- `409 Conflict` if attempting to deselect paths with changes (must commit or reset first)
- `202 Accepted` on success
